  • 1. KOREA NUCLEAR FUEL CO., LTD., Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Hydride orientation test for the zirconium alloy tube is frequently performed as one of the tests defined on the specification to confirm its texture preferences. In this study, the effect of set-up parameters of hydride test such as temperature, duration time and hydrogen gas pressure on hydride formation were investigated to see its effect on the formation of hydride and to find its optimal conditions for hydride test of zirconium alloy tubes. A tube sample is plash pickled and then hydrided in a controlled furnace for a designated time period. (according to ASTM B353, Annex A2 or ASTM B811 Annex A2) It is cooled, mounted and prepared for a microscopic evaluation
